Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks in the finish
Use a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to set.
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the substrate was properly cleaned and lightly sanded to provide a "key" for the paint to grip.
Finish looks dull
The paint can be polished once fully cured; use a soft, dry cloth to buff the surface to increase the shine.
